The Owl Who Forgot to Hoot

Barnaby Quill

Olive the owl cannot hoot, so she tries tapping on bark, whistling through leaves, and even shadow puppets to say goodnight to the forest. Barnaby Quill's gentle story follows a quiet creature who builds her own language when the usual one will not come. Best for bedtime listeners ages four to seven who like calm, problem solving adventures. Sadie Bracken reads with a soft, patient voice that lets each small discovery feel like a secret shared just before sleep.
